This new HBO drama with Jessica Lange presents the crypto-Marian Seldes as an actress who lost her shit in the last part of her career. For Seldes, that would have been DEUCE. I can believe that she had dementia at the end of her life, but she got great reviews for DEUCE. Anybody know whether she was losing it in her late career?

I saw her about a week before she died at Jazzercise. She seemed fine.

DEUCE is a horrible play, yet Marian played every word of it like it was Hamlet. She was up against Angela Lansbury, a beloved star, yet Marian made her and the play far better than it had a right to be.
She was in no way impaired at this point in her life and career. See her wisdom and candor in this interview from Theater Talk.
